Olympic call-up for McDonald’s staff

THEY may be used to going to the golden arches more than for gold medals, but three Glenrothes people are bound for the Olympics, reports MIKE DELANEY.

Heather Brannigan, Christopher Payne and Aimee Warrender have been selected from 87,000 staff to form part of fast food chain McDonald’s champion crew for the games and the Paralympics which follow.

The 2,000 strong squad have been chosen following a rigorous test of their speed, customer service and ability to work as part of a team – all essential skills to deliver the ultimate customer experience during London 2012.

As well as working, they’ll also have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see at least one Olympic or Paralympic event, go to cultural events and socialise with fellow crew members from across the United Kingdom and the world.
